WHAT FACTORS CAN AFFECT THE LIFESPAN OF YOUR ROOF?
2

• No roof will last forever, although depending
  upon the materials used and how professionally it
  was installed, they can last for decades with
  minimal repairs.
• Below are just some of the many factors that go
  towards determining the average lifespan of a
  roof
• The materials used
• Choose the right roofing materials, and a
  professional roofing specialist to install it,
  and your roof could perform well for many years
  to come. Ceramic tiles are a more expensive
  choice, but because theyre heavier than other
  materials, they can withstand strong winds, will
  not change shape or crack, and never fade.
  Helping to protect the roof from peeling or
  fouling, ceramic tiles are smooth and slippery.

• Metal, asphalt, wood and synthetic materials have
  advantages when it comes to roof longevity, too,
  so its important to discuss your options in
  detail with a local roofing specialist (local is
  important, as they will have a better
  understanding of the climate in your area), if
  you want your roof to last for a long time.

• The quality of the products
• There are a number of other layers to a roof that
  arent always visible to the naked eye, such as
  technical accessories, which help the roof to
  function properly once theyre installed and
  attached. Roof membranes, for example, protect
  the interior of the building from moisture and
  help ensure that water vapor drains adequately,
  sealing tapes, bolts and clips. Essential to
  protect your roof from the elements, if installed
  correctly, can minimize the cost of repairs and
  maintenance later in life.
• It can also be helpful to have your entire roof
  system provided by one manufacturer, so keep this
  in mind when searching for a roofing contractor.

5

• The insulating properties
• Thermal and acoustic insulation are important in
  any roof to help keep the entire home warm when
  it needs to be, and cool when it needs to be, but
  especially to help protect those rooms directly
  beneath the roof from the sound and effect of
  harsh weather conditions and street noises. A
  long-lasting roof should be insulated
  professionally.

6

• Whether the roof was installed correctly
• Its absolutely imperative that any roof you have
  installed, is carried out by professionals with
  experience and all the relevant training and
  expertise required. A lack of knowledge or care
  about the work theyre carrying out, can quickly
  lead to issues with the roof years, or even
  months, down the line. Only ever work with a
  trusted roofing company who have a good
  reputation (check online reviews!) and who have
  carried out work previously, to a high standard.

• The weather in your region
• Whether you live in an area that experiences
  particularly harsh winters or scorching summers,
  hurricanes or frequent storms, your roof will
  bear the brunt of every element. Having your roof
  properly installed using quality materials, and
  getting repairs fixed promptly, will help your
  roof live longer, but ultimately, the weather may
  be responsible for reducing the lifespan of your
  roof.
• To help your roof live a long and prosperous
  life, have it professionally installed using the
  highest quality materials, and make sure that all
  repairs and maintenance work is carried out in a
  timely manner. Contact Atlas Roofing today for
